This event was supposed to take place during the two day festival planned for the move in on January 28-29. Because the attempt at the building take over was brutally crushed by the police, the event was still held in Oscar Grant Plaza at around 6pm on Sunday night...

Tsega was recently killed in a horrifying murder in downtown Oakland. She was a bombastic fixture at OGP in the heyday of the camps and was something of a wildcard. That being said, running into her always made me happy and, I assume, others too, and there is no greater testament to a life than that.

Picking up where GA left off yesterday, but w/new emergency proposals for funding for port shutdown, including money for sister occupations which created [minor] controversy. Proposal to have GA at actions sparked conversation about what GA is for, how to implement idea, accessibility, but quorum lost, so tabled.

After the city council meeting on 01-31-12, where city council people laid off 80 workers after a weekend of police violence that will cost the police millions in overtime and lawsuits, I found Jean Quan speaking to an anchor from NBC in the hallway. I turned on the audio recording program on my netbook just in case anything juicy was left out.
